Perhaps the thread should be named, 'Shropshire Bus & Coach, Ruabon' as that's listed as the trading name. I bet one will be a allover white MPD that operated with GHA along with other ex GHA stock.

Timetables for the new services are now on the Wrexham CBC website, http://www.wrexham.gov.uk/english/travel...index.htm.

The 6 Wrexham - Ruabon and 146 Wrexham - Whitchurch have both seen a drastic cut in frequency from hourly to just four buses a day in each direction. The 64 Llangollen - Ceiriog Valley maintains a reasonable level of frequency whilst the 34 Wrexham - Trevalyn and 17 Wrexham - Moss timetables don't seem to have changed much. RJ's will need three buses to cover the services (I think).

I have to say that I find it quite incredible that it has taken Wrexham council the best part of two months to do anything at all about replacing services whilst most other local authorities had a majority of services covered (if not to quite the same level straight away) within a week, and are now returning to a near-normal situation.

There's still a number of Ex-GHA run Wrexham Council tendered routes that are not operating, and haven't even gone back out to tender, including Evening and Sunday Penycae's.

Former GHA R226HCD was on the 0745 146 ex Whitchurch this morning in full GHA livery except fleetnames. This is shown in Ron's list as sold at auction so must have been repurchased rather than retained

Transbus International 8.8M Transbus Int Pointer 2 - SJ53AWX and former G.H.A Transbus International 10.7M Transbus Int Pointer 2 SK52UTT have been noted operating for this company.

I went for a drive along Route 6, through Pentre Bychan and Bersham at 10.00 this morning, hoping to see what was in use. I drove as far as Belle Vue park there was no sign of it!
